How to Use Adhesive Remover for Scrapbook Blunders

The invention of adhesive remover has saved the day for many scrappers. Now an unintentional placement mistake can easily be corrected without damaging your papers or photographs. Adhesive remover is simple to use, and if you purchase the proper formula, you will not damage your scrapbook pages. Scrapbook-safe adhesive removers not only remove items that were permanently stuck but also clean off sticky residue, leaving a clean surface. Here are some suggestions for using adhesive remover on your scrapbook layouts.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Photo-safe adhesive remover (purchased at a scrapbook supply store or craft store)
• Permanent adhesive
• Scrapbooking stickers
• Photographs
• Scrapbook die-cuts or other embellishments
• Craft sponges
• Cotton swabs

1. Decide where you made your mistake on the scrapbook layout and what needs to be removed and reset on the page.

2. Gently lift your photograph or glued object and use a cotton swab or sponge to rub the adhesive remover underneath the item.

3. As your adhesive remover gets underneath the object, it will dissolve the adhesive, allowing you to gently lift the item off the page.

4. Once the photograph or embellishment has been removed, you can use a small amount of adhesive remover to clean off any residue.
